French village id please. (1 Viewer)

[tribalbrit]

Years ago we past through a French village /town. All the buildings were of a timber framed tudor style and I think red and black, although it was years ago and memory isn't what it used to be.
It was probably Northern Fance although not sure.
Often wonder where it was.
Sound familiar to anyone?

 

[Simon Meadwell]

There is a village like that near The lac du der

 

[Ridgeway]

Yep there’s a village in France just like that

Nonancourt?

Similar to the OP, I remember coming across a small medieval village somewhere north of Paris, in the days when I toured by car with the missus. It was a stunning little unspoiled jewel, with a complete defensive wall surrounding it and a fortified gate as the only way in or out.

Never been able to find it again.

Beuvron en auge.

Clearly slightly off-topic but we’ve found so many French towns/cities that are crammed full of tudor type buildings, walls, moats etc.
Currently spending 3 nights on a municipal site (€13 per night) at St Rome du Tarn. The village is simply stunning. Narrow, winding medieval alleys, squares, churches etc.
And we’ve found many such villages without specificallylooking for them.

Or most villages in Normandy.

The ones you come across by accident are often the most enjoyable.

I saw quite a few of those in Northern France, unfortunately I can't remember exactly where I was, some were in really good condition and some very dilapidated and falling down but i was surprised to see them and wondered if they went back to when Brittany was ruled by the English.

 

[tribalbrit]

From the photos I see none of the above is it.
Ah well.

Almost

 

[tribalbrit]

None of the above
The place I remember, you drove through the middle and all the main square was tudor style, must have been on a main route as we had a caravan at the time and stuck to the main routes.
Probably by passes it now

We live just a few miles from there. Beautiful village and there is a cafe/shop that sells a big homemade pie which is DELICIOUS.

Lyons la Foret? Often visited when avoiding Rouen.

Bagnolles?

Nope.

 

[rod_vw]

Did you look at Beauvron-en-Auge? And there is an Aire there as well which we have used a number of times.

But of course that is typical of many villages in North West France.

Maybe you need a bigger needle or a smaller haystack.

 

[Speve]

tribalbrit could it have been Turckheim ?
